Who invented pasta?
Italy, Arabia or China: For decades, researchers have argued about which region of the world invented pasta.
In 2010, evidence of 4000-year-old pasta was found during excavations in China. Allegedly, the Italian trader Marco Polo only brought pasta to Italy in the 13th century. But Cicero had already written about the production of pasta in Italy more than 2000 years ago, and there were also ancient finds.
It is now believed that people all over the world experimented with the grain and pasta was thus developed independently in several regions, including Italy, of course.
